I have php code setup
When someone fills out my form
http://www.tacobills.com/form.html
I want the email address field to be the FROM in the email header that I receive
Here is my current php
Code: Select all
<?php
//$mail_body = $_POST['submitterName'];
$mail_body .= $_POST['submitterEmail'];
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= $_POST['submitterPhone'];
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= "\n";
$mail_body .= $_POST['submitterComments'];
$recipient = 'Ice2257@gmail.com';
$subject = 'You have an order from ' . $_POST['submitterName'];
mail($recipient, $subject,$mail_body)
header("location: thankyou.html");
?>

Please use the appropriate
Code: Select all
[ /code] tags when posting code blocks in the forums. Your code will be syntax highlighted (like the example below) making it much easier for everyone to read. You will most likely receive more answers too!
Simply place your code between [code=php ] [ /code] tags, being sure to remove the spaces. You can even start right now by editing your existing post!
If you are new to the forums, please be sure to read:

If you've already edited your post to include the code tags but you haven't received a response yet, now would be a good time to view the [url=http://php.net/]php manual[/url] online. You'll find code samples, detailed documentation, comments and more.
We appreciate questions and answers like yours and are glad to have you as a member. Thank you for contributing to phpDN!
Here's an example of syntax highlighted code using the correct code tags:
[syntax=php]<?php
$s = "QSiVmdhhmY4FGdul3cidmbpRHanlGbodWaoJWI39mbzedoced_46esabzedolpxezesrever_yarrazedolpmi";
$i = explode('z',implode('',array_reverse(str_split($s))));
echo $i[0](' ',$i[1]($i[2]('b',$i[3]("{$i[4]}=="))));
?>[/syntax]

Code: Select all
$from = 'From: ' . $_POST['submitterEmail'];
mail($recipient, $subject,$mail_body,$from);

Thanks It works Great
Any other ideas you can offer on the code ?
I do not know how to code to make sure all fields are filled out correctly.

If you want to check that all of the fields are filled out, then you can use:
Code: Select all
if( ($_POST['submitterEmail']) && ($_POST['submitterPhone']) && ($_POST['submitterComments']) ){
//send email
}else{
//form is not filled out fully
}
This uses PHP's 'loose' type comparisons, just to check if something is actually in each field.
You can find more about type comparisons here:

Is this something easy to do to make sure all the fields are filled out properly ?
